Have fun ! Yell at us if you run into anything that conjures up a question.

 

If you're in the same boat...literally... here's the vessel for tracking if you want to watch it cross the ocean, starting tomorrow:

So are you officially on that boat?

 

My car is slated for that boat, yeah. But there's always a chance it could be denied due to space issues and would have to wait for the next one.

 

Well I will keep my fingers crossed for yah. I just don't think I will make that one.. Just my gut feeling on that..lol.. Do you happen to know when there next one is?

 

MarineTraffic.com's tracking coverage is pretty much limited to areas close to land. Zoom out on the map far enough, and you'll see the tracking cells; once a boat gets into the ocean, the map will be blank. Then, as the boat approaches land again, you'll be able to track the vessel to the port.

BTW, if you haven't read it yet, check the first Sticky in the 1st Gear section: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d-updated.html. It's a little dated, but most of the information is really good for tracking your car from order to delivery.

 

My MINI left Southampton on the MIGNON today according to the WW site! Scheduled to arrive in NYC in 10 days.

 

And here's to hoping there are no huge icebergs in the North Atlantic.

 

Wow, you may set the record for fastest turnaround time this year!

 

Ugh! Congrats, but man it is tough being on the left coast. Mine is at the port in Germany and IF it gets on the Tiger this Thursday, it still won't make landfall in the US until July 10.

 

But hey, you get to live in Southern California. So there's that.

 

If mine makes the Endurance, It'll be stateside by the 17th, and hopefully in my garage before the 4th of July holiday weekend!

 

Yup, 21 days on the ship, I felt your pain!!!

 

Wow... I think they need to start air dropping our cars.. These ships go way to slow anyways... lol

 

Go to the ships website, enter your vin # and see if you are on the manifest!

 

Awesome wish mine was on a ship...

 

If mine catches the train and the ship without too much wait time, I may challenge that record. Mine is scheduled to be out of production just 12 days after I ordered it. And my dealership is in the same city as the receiving port... Baltimore.

 

Hey SuperGreg, I did but no such luck...Im thinking I will be on the next one out which looks to be the Parsifal.. I think that one departs the 18th.. so my MINI will have to wait a bit ..lol..

 

Oh damn, sorry to hear :(

 

I was originally booked on the Turndot but didn't make it. I'm now on the Asian King scheduled to get to NY on 6/13. Hopefully beginning of next week I'll have my new baby!

 

Ha Ha I know ..this waiting game is something.. I just hope I make the next one... But my MINI is at the Southampton port.

 

Call them and ask them to put a car cover on it :P

 

I'm on the same one with ya, then it has to make the road trip down to Virginia.

 

Ha Ha I like your thinking SuperGreg... I am curious to see what this holding lot looks like where all these MINIs sit waiting for a ship..lol

Zoom in and see if you can find a lot holding thousands of MINIs.
